  1. Probing heart and lung co-development

    Researchers develop a new human cell-based strategy to model heart and lung co-development.

  2. Climate change alters disease

    Temperature fluctuations caused by climate change may have complex effects on infectious diseases.

  3. Understanding stress eating

    Variations on a well-known behavioral test help to model overeating in both male and female mice facing a stressful situation.

  4. DNA damage on the right spot

    A protein called Mer2 helps ensure that double-stranded DNA breaks happen in the right place during meiosis.

  5. Hybrid energy

    Lactic acid bacteria make use of a hybrid system of fermentation and extracellular respiration to accelerate energy production and growth.

  6. An obstacle removed

    Embryoid bodies can be derived consistently from people with different genetic backgrounds, clearing the way to studying gene regulation in otherwise inaccessible cell types.

  7. How silence comes where it is needed most

    A protein called histone H1 helps to focus a DNA silencing process to specific regions of the genome in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.

  8. Building immunity

    Preexisting immune memory cells that recognize antigens from previously unfamiliar pathogens speed the development of strong immunity.
